Lath optical 9 in. Rangefinder sight mki
I acquired this lath optical 9 in rangefinder sight Canadian Mk 1 with an Adapter bore optical lath. It's NOS complete with case and carrying strap. The bore adapter is 76 mm.
First, what artillery piece would it be for? Second, how do you use it?

The only mention I can find of a 76mm is the M10 anti-tank gun. They mention field sighting gear in this article so maybe that"s what I've got. Mine is serial number 14.

It had to be used with a field piece because there's no way to see through the turret alongside the gun.
The 17 pdr comes to mind

David,
It will take me a couple of days until I can get my hands on the reference material but I am fairly certain this piece of kit belongs with a CDN 3.2" Rocket Launcher. Colin

I still can't figure out why you'd need to attach a rangefinder in the bore of anything.
